For 2002, Clarion introduces a unique new amplifier design. Clarion’s Power System amplifiers are designed and engineered in the United States, and utilize state-of-the art circuitry in the amplifier power circuits and crossovers to give excellent sound quality and brute power delivery. This dynamic sound is needed for true multi-channel surround sound reproduction for today’s in-car DVD based audio/video systems. For 2002, Clarion introduces a unique new amplifier heatsink design. It is a three piece heatsink consisting of the main heatsink, two side heatsinks, and two removable mesh grills for added thermal dissipation. The two side heatsinks are removable, and can be painted any color for custom installations. The mesh grills are also removable and can be painted a contrasting color for a truly unique look that is unmatched in the industry. The new heatsink design aids in removing heat from the amplifier main board to ensure rated power output over long periods of time without shutdown. All Power System amplifiers have built-in variable electronic crossovers for system design flexibility. They use MOSFET power transistors in their power supplies for high efficiency and low heat radiation. All of this technology adds up to an amplifier with sound and power that matches it’s cool new look. 25
The DPX1001.2 Digital Amplifier For years, Class A and Class AB amplifiers have dominated the marketplace, but Digital Amplifiers have gained market share in the past few years. Digital technologies allow high power output in smaller chassis that are not as expensive as conventional amplifiers. Class D and Class T amplifiers use this technology but the main difference is that Class T amplifiers offer high signal fidelity for better sound quality. The DPX1001.2 Digital Amplifier utilizes Class T technology. Class T provides power efficiencies of 80-90% that benefit consumers in many ways. This high efficiency provides more power output in a smaller package with less required input current. Heat dissipation is held down to a minimum, requiring a smaller amplifier package size and smaller heatsink surface area. Because Class T digital amplifiers can run full frequency, they can be used in more applications, not just as a subwoofer amplifier. A pulse-width regulated MOSFET power supply is more efficient, generates less heat, and results in a smaller amplifier size Pulse-width regulation adjusts the width of the power supply’s switching pulses to serve constantly changing audio power needs. When music dynamics increase, or the volume is raised, the pulses stay on longer to charge the power supply capacitors across the dc rails in the power supply. By using this type of power supply, Clarion can build a smaller amplifier that generates less heat and is more efficient. The amplifier will sound much cleaner, with better bass and transient response. Power Systems Amplifiers unique circuitry Clarion’s Power System amplifiers contain unique circuitry in both the input and output sections for noise suppression, fast transient response, and minimum distortion. This includes high-impedance differential input stages, global feedback, and premium devices with very high slew rates. High-impedance differential input stages separate the input signal ground from the common chassis ground. This creates a very effective groundloop isolation circuit that reduces the possibility of charging system noise from entering the signal path. 2 Ohm Stability With this design, Power System amplifiers can drive lower impedance loads for increased power and can be bridged for mono operation across a 4-ohm load. All Clarion amplifiers are designed to run at 2-ohm loads with increased power and reliability.Two-ohm stability allows the amplifier to run multiple speakers in more complex systems. As a direct result, the amplifier can provide 150 percent more power in 2-ohm stereo, or more than 300 percent in 4ohm bridged mono. Power Series Amplifiers built-in electronic crossovers and Bass Extender All Clarion Power System amplifiers have a variable electronic crossover built-in. This allows for flexible system configuration, as a 4 channel amplifier can power both full range speakers and subwoofers without an external passive crossover. This results in more efficient transfer of power to the speakers with less phase shift of higher frequencies. The low pass crossover is adjustable from 55-550Hz with a 12dB/oct. slope for subwoofer use, and the high frequency crossover is variable from 55Hz- 5.5kHz, also with a 12dB/oct. slope. The Bass Extender control allows up to 15dB of boost at 45Hz to fine tune the bass response of your subwoofer system to the vehicle’s interior and blend it with the rest of the speakers for a smooth transition from subwoofer to midrange frequencies Other Features: All Power Series amplifiers feature: •Adjustable line level inputs with an input sensitivity of 250mv-5V. •Speaker level inputs to allow easy interface with factory car radios. •Automatic bridging capability •Mixed Mode operation •Double-sided glass epoxy circuit boards 26
